I had mechanic'd on my own rigs for a long time. About five years before getting the truck I went completely through the motor and manual trans in a ford thunderbird (sorry, my fleet has contained a lot of ford over the years, I am somewhat brand agnostic).

The tbird had a roots blower, was kind of a cool car and the experience taught me a lot. Mostly it taught me that I wanted something that was easier to wrench on if it was going to be a "hobby"!
